That looks real good Sparky. Doing two seven pound shoulders for tomorrow. These are my first on the Mak. Plan to do what you do and no foil. 225 all the way. Is two hours per pound sound right to you. Concerned about the timing.

Being from the South, when I read the title for your post I had a totally different indea of what you were cooking. Down here "poke" or "poke salad" is a plant that grows wild and was a staple of the poor people to cook in place of other greens since sometimes poke salad and cornbread was all they had to eat.  It is toxic and has to be cooked carefully to get the toxicity out of it. It was a favorite of my American Indian Grandmother and I ate way to much of it as a kid. I have some that has sprouted up in my side flower bed and may just have to cook a  batch.

Your 'poke" looks much more appetizing.
